field. He is great batter, unequalled
as base runner, a brilliant coach and
a stayer. Last season he crossed the
home base more times than any
League player the number OF runs
credited to him being 100 in l07 games.
Kelly can cover Che bases, under favor
able circumstances, in about fifteen
seconds. A competent critic says that
in the tricks of ball-playing he is
wonder, and deserves the name OF being
the clevcrest man in the profession. One
of the many tricks introduced by Kelly
is that of standing outside the coachers
lines when there is man on third base
and having the ball thrown 10 him on
the pretext that it is ripped, allowing 1t
to pass him and the man on third TO
score his run. Kelly was the first to
introduce the across-the-diamond act,
on which he would secure run without
going nearer than twenty feet of base.
He will. seven out of ten times, cut
across from second base to the home
plate, on a long hit to the out-iield,
without going anywhere near third
base and will also call players in of
the base on a close decision, and then
bluff the umpire into giving him out,
As a kicker he is the dread of all UNI
pires. He was born in Troy, y. y,
December 81, 1857. From that place
he moved to Washington. ID. c., where
he began ballplaying with the Key
stone Junior Club. In 1915 his
parents took up their residence at
Patterson, n. j., which is now his
home. Here he played with the Olym-
lies as right fielder and catcher. In
1877 he caught for the Buckeyes, of
Columbus, O., and il 1873 and 1879 ne
played rightfelder and catcher for the
Cncinnatis. He caught for that club
in San Francisco in 1879, and on his
return Joined the Chicagos, with which
club he played right-field and catcher,
and Mt different times short-ssop and
second-base from 1850 until the present
season. lie was the central figure IN
the Chicago Club, and to his skill and
untiring energy, more than to any other
one player, is due the fact that Chicago
was able to win the League pennaQt for
three years in succession.

Riding the Stang.


In the counties of Surrey and Sussex
when it was known that man was in
the habit Of beating the partner OF his
Joys and sorrows some chlff from tho
threshing-fOor was sprinkled in front
Of his house at night. Ii this hint,
which was well understood, had not the
desired effect, all the cOw-hOrns, frying
pans, and old kettles in the village were
pre- ssed into service and the offender
serenaded. Between the pauses in the
music the following verse was sung:
There is a man in this place
Has beat his wife. has beat his wife;
il Is very great shame and disgrace
TO all who live in this place
II is, indeed, upon my life.
This invariably produces the desired
effect. But where the offender was too
hardened severe drubbing was adj
ministered by the village danes on a
dark night and in a convenient place.
In the Ahrsthal, Switzerland, the
peaeantry get up "Thieriagen or
wild. beast hunt, comprising fri9htful
screeching Of rough music, when man
is known 10 have beaten his wife. In
many parts Of rural England, Scotland,
and Wales a curious Saxon custom for
melly prevailed, called riding the
stang, "or Skimmington riding. In
some places the stang was wooden
horse and in others simple pole. When
a man WAC known to be under petit
coat government or when a shrew was
known to have belabOred her spouse q
number of villagers would procure a
wooden horse or long pole, astride
which, willing or unwilling, man was
placed and carried round the village.
A halt was called before the door Of the
"vixen" and some doggerel lines were
recited, after which, with loud shout
of dtrision and indignatian, the party
would salute the mortified inmates;
and, unless a trife of money was
handed over, the annoyance would
continue for some time. There is in
Llandderfel church. North Wales, one
of these "stangs," in the shape OF q
nondescript animal. One of the guide
books says that this piece OF wood has
a place of honor in the pretty church
recently restored, and was used for the
purpose of frightening married couples
who did not live together according to
the orthodox Darby-and-JOan fashion.
The horse was ridden to their doors
mounted on mems shoulders, when a
sort OF dialogue was gone through,
scarcely complimentary to the inmates
of the house.

Charles Reade's Kindness.


Just before Mortimer Collins's death
he happened in some way to run couu-
ter to the prejudices of one OF the most
brilliant and rugged men of letters,
with whom he was personally unac-
quainted. His sin brought upon his
head-in the AtheR9uR or Notes and
Queries, / think-a very lava flood
Of scathing denunciatiom from
the offended Olympian. Before he
had time TO answer Mortimer
Collins was dead. Three years
later, when his widow was in trouble at
lslewoIth and saw no one, her little
maid refused to unlock the gate TO u
white-haired. burly stranger. Stand
ing outside he shyly murmured some
thing about ga friend of Edmund
Yates" This acted like magic, as many
were the packets and letters the girl
had posted TO that address, and he was
shown in. "Mrs. Mortimer Collins, /
Think" eyes" "God bless you.
Take this" He thrust a roll OF bank
notes into her hand and was of in
his carriage again without another
word, leaving her to look blankly
after him. 1t was little time before
she learned that her visitor was Charles
Resde, and that the timely kindness
was his stonement for his haste. 4. He
kept the XII dnsss up; and one Of the
illst literary bosrders who came TO
tighten Frances Colhns's burdens at
her Eastbourne house was Charles
Resde. 1t was not long before his
death, and it was there that / myself
met him for the last tine.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
Your article in yesterdays Dispatch
headed 1.-The Record of Wonderful
Act of Heroism has determined me
to put on record what l consider the
most wonderful act OF heroism that has
como to my knowledge amongst tho
thousands of noble acts that occurred
during the war l call on Captain f.
p. Reeve to verify my statement, as |
got il from him as we came back from
Gettysburg last week. 1t is briefly
this
Captain William T. Fry, of General
Kemper's staff, actually rode on horse
back Che had but one leg) to the stone
wall at Gettysburg whilst it was held by
our men, delivered orders to Captain
Reeve, and coolly rode out again, and
so far as | know is still alive. | had
myself been on General Kempers staff
and only left it few weeks before
Gettysburg to form battalion of sharp
shooters for Pickett's division, but |
have never seen Captain Fry, as he was
absent on account of his wounds all the
time | was with General Kemper, but L
have often heard the General and his
staff tell of Captain Fry's wonderful
courage and how he enjoyed the dan
gers of battle. This has often led me
to say that the only three persons |
ever knew or heard of who enjoyed a
fight were General Stuart, Jim
Dearing, and Captain Fry. To fully
appreciate this act of heroism it is ne
cessary to have been at the bloody
angle during the fight.
Whilst on this subject | wish to
know how many officers and couricrs
went into the charge mounted. Major
Hale, of New Hampshire, now CON
nectod with the panorama of the battle
of Gettysburg, and VINO saw the charge,
SAYS be saw nat less than five mounted
officers with the line as it advanced, but
none Of them lived TO reach the stone
wall I was under the impression that
Colonel Lewis b. Williams, of the First
Virginia, was the only field officer who
rode into the charge with his command.
General Kemper was wounded near the
Codori house, and was, it is said, carried
into the house. From all | can gather
Captain Fry was the only man who
rode to the bloody angle. 1t would be
well for the sake of history to settle this
point. Yours respectfully,
G. G. WEBTEyBABER.
